1143.0. "Triumph Herald??" by SHAPES::STREATFIELDC (VW Beetle.. IOSG::AIR_COOLED) Mon Jul 09 1990 16:08

     
    I have seen a Triumph Herald for sale in our local village, half in
    primer for a respray, 
    
    Information;   13/60
                   saloon
                   fabric sunroof
                   1969 
                   400 pound ono.
    
    Looks solid enough, but being a Volkswagon man, I do not know the
    prices of these cars,
    The car had tax, and I presume MOT, as it is being driven around.
    Does anyone know how much this sort of car goes for?,

1143.2herald valuationRUTILE::PRICEMon Jul 09 1990 21:5824
    re : .0
    
    The current valuations that I have available now are as follows
    
    cond.3  (roadworthy,basically in need of a lot of work) 400
    pounds,
    
    cond.2 (roadworthy,complete,generally in need of minor mechanical
            and body repairs)  1000 pounds,
    
    cond 1.(roadworthy,complete,average wear and tear considering year
    of manufacture ie:some rust but no big holes etc..) 1500 pounds
    
    concours : better-than-when-it-left-the-showroom !!! 2800 pounds.
    
    
    Note : the above figures are the sum for which you should INSURE
    the vehicle (on an 'agreed value' policy).
    
    Basically if it fits any of the cond1,cond2,concours categories,you've
    got a bargain.
